Giacomo Ferdinando Sievers, born in St Petersburg in the early nineteenth century but a naturalised Italian citizen, was one of that century\u2019s foremost piano makers. He was often invited to be a member of the jury in competitions held at the great exhibitions in Paris, and was the author of the nineteenth century\u2019s most exhaustive dissertation on pianoforte building:<\/p>\n

Il Pianoforte \/ Guida pratica per costruttori, accordatori, dilettanti e possessori di pianoforti, published in Naples in 1868.<\/p>\n

Here Sievers set out the structural criteria of the different European schools of piano making, and he also devoted ample space to defining in depth the main aesthetic and functional features of the pianoforte in his day.<\/p>\n

He founded a factory in Naples where he produced high-quality grand pianos, table pianos and upright pianos; however, few have survived to the present day.<\/p>\n

Like most Italian piano factories, Sievers adopts both Viennese construction criteria derived from the Stein model and Anglo-French ones, inspired by Cristofori’s mechanics .<\/p>\n
